Our Vision: Informed Patient Care

Our Mission: Connecting the cancer community

Who established FOUNDATION 96

I developed FOUNDATION 96 to globally connect the cancer community. For the past 15 years I have been working as an accredited exercise physiologist helping cancer survivors manage their physical side effects from treatment. During this time they reported that they wished they could have located me at the time that they were diagnosed. I then established clinics to provide this service and soon learnt that travelling was difficult during and after cancer treatment.

In 2014 I decided to design an on-line service to inform the cancer community of known treatment side effects and connect them to qualified health professionals and service providers. I identified common treatment side effects, studied the different health professionals working in the oncology field, located published research articles to support their treatment methods and created personalized cancer care plans. Locating and connecting qualified health professionals and trusted service providers has created a powerful hub of knowledge that I believe will help to improve cancer survivors quality of life.

My task now is to continue to build the global directory, develop education and training webinars and most importantly support the cancer community.

History of the name FOUNDATION 96

The famous Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine” used the term carcinoma to describe tumours.

In Greek, carcinoma refers to a crab, and was probably applied to the disease because the spreading cancer called to mind the shape of a crab. Later the Roman physician, Celsus translated the Greek term into the Latin – cancer, symbolised like this

If you turn the crab symbol around you get 96

“Turning cancer around”, that’s what we are all about…
